Lipitor and Viagra Stimulus Package for Jobless

I'm not sure if Pfizer's management has been sleeping in the rain forest observing the idle primates, or its marketing department perceives the declining state of the economy and the unemployment rate as a means to increase market share.

On Thursday, the company announced that it will give away Lipitor and Viagra for up to one year, to people who have lost jobs and health insurance.

"There's a long-term benefit there, beyond the goodwill and the publicity," said David Heupel, a Pfizer spokesperson. He alluded to the strategy as preventing poor people from substituting herbal remedies and cheap videos for its name brand product.

I asked around, but no one would say whether or not condoms were being dispensed with pink slips these days; However, Pfizer is doing its civic duty.

Anti-impotence drugs such as Viagra, Cialis et al and specific surgical procedures are effective for treating erectile dysfunction in men but these therapies are not completely devoid of side-effects and hence Viagra and other medicines can be harmful to a certain degree. However, in spite of opting for these erectile dysfunction treatments, if you consider using arginine, Propionyl-L carnitine and other natural remedies,you would remain considerably benefited as these natural supplements don`t yield side-effects and also provide you sufficient relief from erectile dysfunction.
